Job board: South Africa leads hiring trend

From the newsletter

This week marks the third consecutive week that South African energy firms and recruitment agencies have dominated our list of opportunities. While solar energy positions continue to be prevalent, we've observed a notable increase in battery energy storage system roles. Scatec, Sun King and M-KOPA top the companies seeking new talent.

• Utility-scale energy projects across Africa are driving significant demand for specialised high-voltage engineers. Scatec Solar Africa is actively recruiting for various HV engineers to support its expanding portfolio.

• While South Africa remains a hub for utility-scale developments, East Africa's job market is largely dominated by Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) solar-related positions.
